I've been having a pretty rough few months. Dealing with a lot of real-world stuff right now and it is not easy. Thank you so much for being patient-- I'm doing my best to feel better and be able to work on these projects, but I can't help it when they do sometimes have to take a back-seat to legitimate obstacles in my life.

I was actually able to ink for a bit last night while  eryshefalafel was over for bacon tacos and hanging out, so that made me feel good, but I know it's not fast enough. I'm stressed out because things have been so tight financially, too, and I know I can't afford to take more projects unless I'm getting these existing ones done in a more timely manner. I'll keep updating the status list below as usual, as I have progress to show.

I'm hoping to open for 3" button badges in the near future-- I finally got my new circle cutter in the mail after the hurricane, but because things have been crazy, I didn't get to try it out right away. I finally put together the badge I'd started for myself over a year ago (which is probably the first badge I've drawn for myself since 2003) and it looks gorgeous. It does make me excited to make more buttons and get art done in general, so I'm keeping it out where I can see it and have it help motivate me (right next to my "Quit Procrastinating" Batman).
